Spotify Premium Plans Compared
Compare Individual, Student, Duo and Family pricing, account limits and eligibility across markets.

Quick answer
Spotify's core Premium options are Individual, Student, Duo and Family in many markets, but pricing and some included benefits vary by country. The right plan depends on listener count and eligibility, not just price.
Premium Individual
Individual is for one account and avoids household or student-verification requirements. It is the simplest benchmark when comparing the cost of Spotify Premium across markets.
Some additional benefits, such as audiobook listening time, can vary by country.
Duo and Family
Duo provides separate Premium accounts for two eligible people who live together. Family is designed for eligible family members who live together and provides separate accounts rather than one shared login.
Spotify can ask members to confirm their address. If household eligibility does not fit your situation, the lower per-person price is not a valid reason to use the plan.
Premium Student
Student is a discounted individual-style plan for eligible higher-education students. Spotify uses an external verification process in supported markets and requires periodic re-verification.
Availability, price and bundled benefits can differ by country, so the Student page for your market is the authority.
How to choose
Start with the number of people who need separate accounts, then check whether Duo, Family or Student eligibility applies. Only after that should you compare price.
If you already have Premium, Spotify says playlists, saved music and settings are retained when changing between its Premium plans.
Common questions
Do Family members share one Spotify account?
No. Eligible members use separate accounts with their own libraries and recommendations.
Is Duo just two Individual accounts?
It provides two separate Premium accounts under one plan, but both members must satisfy Spotify's current Duo eligibility rules.
Can plan features differ by country?
Yes. Pricing and some extras can vary by market.
